To see how even the stunted Capitalism of the last 300 years is vastly superior to any other social system one only has to look at the quality of life during the Founding Father's time, which was only marginally better than it was in the Roman Republic, and compare that to how we live today.
The fact that envy is politically impotent without the force of government behind it illustrates the benevolence of capitalist free markets. Thanks, Anders, good observation!
